I Tried Doing Work In Apple's New Spreadsheet App And It Was Awful

Apple announced major updates to the Mac version of its iWork productivity suite at its October 22 event for the iPad in addition to the tablet versions remade for iOS 7.

While there's been quite a bit of backlash about the features taken out of its desktop apps, I haven't read much about the new iPad or iCloud versions of the suite.

When a friend asked me to crunch some data for him, I knew I had a perfect opportunity to put Numbers, iWork's equivalent to Microsoft Excel, through its paces on the iPad and in the browser.

It didn't go well.
